Obama Visits Seattle

Seattlest: "For a Presidential candidate—especially one who has recently surged in the polls—Barack Obama is kinda a rock star. So it makes sense that he'd host his latest Seattle appearance at a rock club. The Seattle Generation Obama Concert takes place Tuesday night at the Showbox SoDo. Obama will be there, doing his campaigning thing, along with special musical guests the Dusty 45s and (the still-reunited) Brad. Since Obama and company are going after the votes of the kids (see: the rock and/or roll), a limited number of relatively cheap ($35) student tickets were briefly available—but they're long gone now. Still, if you're willing to shell out $100, you can bask in the warm glowing warming glow of the politics of hope, as well as that million-watt smile. No, Oprah will not be there. 7:30pm doors // Showbox SoDo // 1700 1st Ave S // $35-$100"
